Staff were really helpful and breakfast was nice with a pancake and orange juice. Don't stay in the amantani private room as cold, loud as chipboard wall next to dorm and football table. Hot water was hit and miss. Everything was clean though and wifi available throughout building. Good tours available- highly recommend the 2 day 1 night to Uros,... More

Staff were incredibly friendly! We booked our full day island trip and bus to Cusco with them and it was good value, highly recommend the trip!! The hostel is a bit worn. We stayed in Coca room and although it was noisy at times it did the job! My only complaint would be the hot water... Very hit and miss,... More

I was arriving to Puno for one night. At the bus station I met other backpackers and joind them to this hostel. The hostel was very nice, the wifi was good! The rooms were clean, the shower had hot water. The stuff was very kind and helped booking a tour to the flowing island. When I left the lady from... More

Fantastic friendly staff, and the breakfast was very tasty! However, the place looked a bit sad! Although it was fantastic value, the communal patio area threatened to flood with the plastic sheet sagging a worrying amount! The rooms were nice but my friend sleeping underneath me on the bunk bed was worried I was going to fall through on him... More

We stayed for two nights in the private twin room (shared bathroom). Overall, Bothys covered the basics well; the showers are hot, the staff are helpful and solid security on the front gate is very reassuring. In spite of this, the whole building needs a big cash injection to bring it up to a good standard. The paint on the... More

The good side is the spacious room and helpful staff. They also help to book tour and bus ticket. The down side is absolutely the shower. The hot water can only last for about 10 mins and then it's cold for a couple mins before it gets hot again. So shower has to be fast. The water volumn is very... More

I am definitely not a fussy person when it comes to hostels, but really had to write a review on this place as had such a bad experience. Me and my friend stayed here in Oct 2012 and will never be going back! We arrived at 6am after a long journey from Cusco. the place does look kind of run... More

Bothy hostel in Arequipa: yes please. Bothy in Puno: no thank you. The basic hostel facilities were just fine, so, to be honest, if you're looking for a place to get a night's sleep and nothing more, this could be an okay place. They do have hot, clean showers and offer free hot tea 24/7 (well, 14/7, shall we say).... More

The hostel is just ok. The room was small and kind of old, but clean. The showers were downstairs, right to the reception, so it was a bit uncomfortable. But I have to say that the staff was extremely helpful and organised everything for us: transportation, tours, etc. And it was cheap, breakfast included... so I guess it's not such... More
